It's not very common here, and when it's used it's typically in place of bachelor/bachelorette (having a slightly different meaning than the #4 "I" or "1" version of single, also meaning un-attached)


That being said, the "S" version is more prevalent in those who are 35-40+, likely because many of us who are 33 & older saw some SEE being used in some settings in or around school etc, even if ASL was the language of instruction.
